Turns out dark matter is simply primordial black holes that were formed at the time of big bang.
Welp, that's it folks.

What about zero-point/vacuum energy as dark energy?
Sadly boring explanation, but completely possible, yeah.

I was hoping for Ancient Aliens.
Can someone please explain to me why this idiot wants to go to mars instead of making a moon base?
>Mars is 6-9 months away, if anything happens on mars you are fucked
>moon is close and can rescue get supplies and rescue parts in a short time
>Virtually no coming back from mars
>No H3 to mine
>No magnetic shielding
>No confirmed water
>Moon can be used...

Because the moon landing was fake and they don't want to reveal the film studio on the dark side.
But seriously. It's about achievement and culture I guess.
H3 mining is retarded futurist nonsense that will never be economical, even if fusion reactors became a reality today.
Getting significant amounts of water from Martian regolith is not believed to be a problem.
The notion that the moon is 'closer' to Earth, and can be used as a port in between other destinations, fails to take into account astrodynamics, in which delta-V is the main consideration.
Mars has an atmosphere (which is extremely handy for ISRU), has fairly heterogeneous regolith, and is overall the most Earth-like planet in the solar system.

That doesn't even make sense. How would it expose it as fake?
Post your stats
1.head circumference with your gender
2.IQ (if officially tested) and/or your degree
While I might believe that big heads (thus big brain) doesn't imply you will automatically have high intelligence, the reverse does apply.
I have got a head circumference of 54-55cm and I am dumb.
Also people with smaller heads are more prone to Alzheimers.

Hello brainwashed smug anime girl.
Its about head size with respect to body that's relevant.
Is there actually anything wrong with genetically modifying food?
Yes, if you don't know how it's done.
Nothing inherently. Maybe some wacco modifies some corn so it can produce cyanide but GMOs by themselves are not bad.

They don't care about manifolds and topology in engineers class.

Is there any evidence that "child prodigies" amount to anything or is it mostly memes?

One case, sure, I'll grant you, but that isn't statistically significant
Are luxury technologies making us stupider as a species?

This is to exclude all of the technology that allows for scientific advancement, of course.
I mean, our ancestors never had to deal with whiny pussy men who claim to be women. If a man did that back then they would kill him.

No, they would just fuck him in his boipussy.

Do you really think our ancestors were stupid enough to allow a degenerate to live?

Musk warns that pioneering human space travel may in fact have unforseen issues that could potentially result in lost lives. THE CROWD GOES WILD. THIS IS NEWS TO EVERYONE. HOW COULD SPACE POSSIBLY BE DANGEROUS?
RIP Musk. Impeach the bastard and give us someone who can guarantee us absolute unconditional safety.

What are the soon-to-be advances within computers? Will be going into either software engineering or computer science, want to know if there's any interesting readings.

I don't care, I find it interesting
>>8158874
Quantum computing is the next and last advancement in the field of computers. A computer science degree wont be enough for that.

kek'd rill hard right there.

The assumption being that writing is the hard bit. Not to mention on such a worn out genre that plenty of 'good writers' get ignored and not widely advertised.
Ok /sci/
/k/ here
i know this is cringe as fuck
but i want to understand "science"
specifically chemicals
I want to understand them
i want to know how they interact, and why they do these reactions the way they do
I've been thinking of science as "these nerds make this and it does this"
but i want to go in depth
I am currently in the navy, but will go to college in some scientific field, need help knowing which one
which is why i come to you
help me
understand science
>>8158858
Study Chemistry.

>mfw a libartsfag tries to explain zeno's paradox to me and doesn't understand why it's not valid
Will society ever become math literate?
>>8158831
Had a guy in my senior year mathematics seminar tell me that if Zeno's paradox were resolved, it wouldn't be called a paradox.
Needless to say, he was an evangelical Christian.
>>8158831
it's valid it's just not a problem
paradox to most people just means "counter-intuitive"
>>8158838
No, paradox is SUPPOSED to mean roughly "counter-intuitive", but to "most people" seems to mean "insurmountable conflict that invalidates everything we know".
